Veteran animation artist Ann Sullivan, a 91-year-old resident at the Motion Picture Television Fund’s skilled nursing facility in the Los Angeles suburb of Woodland Hills, died Monday of complications from Covid-19.
Sullivan’s death was the third at the facility since the pandemic broke out. John Breier, 64, a longtime member of Iatse Local 174, and actor Allen Garfield died last week.
The Mptf reported the first case on March 31. About 250 entertainment industry retirees live on the Mptf’s Wasserman Campus in Woodland Hills, Calif. Thirteen other residents have tested positive for the virus, with 10 currently being treated in isolation units and three at West Hills Hospital. Eight caretakers have also tested positive.
Sullivan was a native of Fargo, N.D., who followed her sister Helen to California, and after studying at the Art Center in Pasadena, landed a job at Walt Disney in the animation paint lab in the early 1950s.

Lindsay Lohan took a quick break from her time in rehab to call her mother on Mother's Day. If Dina Lohan is to be believed, just a week and a half at the Betty Ford Center has done worlds of good for her daughter.
"I just spoke to Lindsay at Betty Ford. She's doing great," Dina tells The New York Daily News. "She's clear, she's happy, she's healthy."
Apparently Dina originally planned to visit Lindsay on Mother's Day, but her daughter told her to stay in New York. Instead, Dina celebrated the holiday with her mother Ann Sullivan and her children Michael, 25, Ali, 19 and Cody, 16.
Meanwhile TMZ tells a different story, claiming Lindsay wants to get out of rehab because she has been cut off from her Adderall. The sites sources say Lindsay is going "crazy" and wants to move to a different rehabilitation facility, though prosecutors are not having it.
